Teacher and librarian Kathleen T. Isaacs spotlights recent informational and picture books appropriate for children ages up to 10 that will help parents and caregivers encourage children's wonder and enthusiasm for nature.

The hundreds of quality books listed and annotated in this resource will enrich the joy and excitement of nature for readers of all ages"..
